Marjorie Rosenbaum Fund

Community and education were driving forces in Marjorie Rosenbaum’s life. A lifelong resident of Middletown and one of the original graduates of Wesleyan University’s Graduate Liberal Studies Program, Marjorie thrived in a community in which music, theater, literature, and education were prevalent.

Marjorie worked with others in the community to establish and nurture programs that would ensure a bright future for Middletown. A founder of CAUSE (Community & University Services for Education), Marjorie believed in facilitating cooperative projects between Wesleyan University and the Middletown community; she looked to the future, understanding that creating collaborative programs within the university and local community would provide opportunities to support vibrant, strong neighborhoods.

In the Community Foundation of Middlesex County, Marjorie recognized a partner and a resource, and because of her bequest to the Community Foundation, she established a legacy to promote collaboration, sustain the arts, education and community programs, and strengthen the place she cared deeply for – today and in the future.
